What's Happening?
The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is set to host its 12th edition of the NADA New York art fair at the Starrett-Lehigh Building from May 13-17, 2026. Executive Director Heather Hubbs, who has been with NADA since 2004, has overseen its growth from a small-scale
initiative to an international event. This year's fair will feature over 100 galleries and dealers from around the world, with a special Curated Spotlight organized by Anthony Elms in partnership with TD Bank. The fair aims to showcase a diverse range of contemporary art and support galleries and artists in building sustainable careers.
